OET (OET-RV) gentleness, and self-control—there’s no law of Mosheh against any of these!
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
πραΰτης, ἐνκράτεια
gentleness (Some words not found in SR-GNT: πραΰτης ἐγκράτεια κατὰ τῶν τοιούτων οὐκ ἔστιν νόμος)
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of gentleness, and self-control, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [acting gently, and controlling oneself]
5:23 Gentleness is antithetical to the vices of 5:20 and requires strength (see Prov 15:1, 4; Matt 11:28-29; Eph 4:2).
• self-control: The Holy Spirit does not give moral license but empowers people to avoid sin (cp. Gal 5:13; Rom 6:14-18; 1 Thes 4:3-7; 1 Pet 2:16; see also Acts 24:25; Titus 1:8).
• There is no law against these things! Paul is stating the obvious, but also making the point that those who are virtuous by the Spirit do not need law to govern them.
OET (OET-RV) gentleness, and self-control—there’s no law of Mosheh against any of these!
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
